Forum Europa started its activities in Brussels, the capital of the European Union, at the beginning of this year, under the motto "Ideas to Strengthen the Union" and coinciding with the final stretch of a crucial legislature and the elections to the European Parliament. 

So far, Forum Europa has organised six events in Brussels: 

The General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), Esther Lynch, urged this Thursday at the Forum Europa in Brussels to strengthen collective bargaining and for workers to have access to unions.
 
In the breakfast briefing organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, Lynch rejected that there are companies that hire workers who are not covered by a collective agreement and may compete unfairly.
 
She called for strengthening collective bargaining and ensuring that unions can have a presence in the workplace and can reach workers. “All decisions are better through collective bargaining", Lynch stressed, but she added that such bargaining will be genuine if workers have access to unions and vice versa. “European democracy also involves being part of your union,” she said.
 

The General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), Esther Lynch, urged this Thursday at the Forum Europa in Brussels to “not be afraid” of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and at the same time legislate to prevent harm from its misuse.
 
This is what she said at the breakfast briefing organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, in which she called for a dialogue about the “challenge” that Artificial Intelligence represents. She considered that science must be welcomed and innovation encouraged, but she stressed that it should not be done naively, but with “moral imagination.”
 

The General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), Esther Lynch, stated this Thursday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that she hopes that in a “short” period of time a part of the legislation on the digital disconnection of work will be ready.
 
This was what she said at the informative meeting organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, in which Lynch pointed out that stress and burnout syndrome are “one of the biggest challenges” that workers face.
 

The President of the S&D Group (Socialists and Democrats) in the European Parliament, Iratxe García, said this Thursday at the Forum Europa in Brussels that the "future must be and will be social" and pledged to defend the social model of the European Union.
 
This is what Iratxe García said during the meeting organised by the New Economy Forum in the EU capital, where she introduced the Secretary General of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), Esther Lynch.
 
García said that when we talk about a social Europe, it means that we are looking for quality jobs that offer decent wages and a work-life balance.
 
She also called for gender equality, explaining that "gender equality means equal rights, equal opportunities and equal pay for men and women".
